Reba McIntyre is hosting that one, 22 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 4: so good times with that I'm sure you'll see some 23 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 4: some cowboy love at some point on the stage there. 24 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 4: I don't know if Jerry or Dak or both will 25 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 4: be out there for that. All right, all right, but 26 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 4: the big I think the biggest news was the schedule 27 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 4: release coming out yesterday. It's a schedule. It's hard to 28 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 4: actually say, all right, it looks good, it looks bad, 29 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 4: it's this is gonna be hard, this is not, but 30 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 4: it seems favorable. There's some things I like about it. Sometimes, 31 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 4: you know, you look at the schedule, you look at 32 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 4: it for personal reasons. You're like, all right, what does 33 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 4: Christmas look like? And you know what cold wet their 34 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 4: games and places you've never been to and what time 35 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 4: of the year you're going to go and all that 36 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 4: kind of stuff. But you know, just from a team 37 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 4: aspectm you know, it's we knew it was going to 38 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 4: be challenging. Anytime you win your division and you play 39 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 4: three first place teams and then you play the toughest 40 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 4: you're playing the only division uh in in the league 41 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 4: that that had every team with a winning record, and 42 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 4: that was the AFC North, So you knew that was 43 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 4: going to be tough too. And they're all on here, 44 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 4: But the way it's laid out, I don't think it's 45 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 4: too daunting. Uh, there's some rough patches, it seems, and 46 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 4: then there's some also some some parts in it that 47 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 4: I think the Cowboys can can you know, have some success. 48 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 4: So anyways, well we'll talk about it as the show 49 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 4: goes on. Eight eight, eight, eight, five, five two two 50 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 4: nine seven is the number to call or text at 51 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 4: eight one seven two nine zero three two nine to eight. 52 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 4: I think this might be the day to get on 53 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 4: the lines. Uh, should be open and clear. We had 54 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 4: That's what happens when you change the schedule like this, 55 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 4: So hopefully we will be able to have maybe some 56 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 4: new callers on here. But all right, let's start it off. 57 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 4: We got Dom and Odessa. 58 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: Hey Nate, how you doing? 59 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 3: Man? 60 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 2: Good? Are you good? What's up there? 61 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: Man? Now? I just wanted to call. I tried to call. 62 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: Like you said, the lines are usually cocked up a 63 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: while back. Yeah, But anyway, as far as the schedule goes, 64 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: I thought, you know, they were going to put the 65 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: Texans as a Pine Time game. I was looking at that. 66 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: I thought it would be more of a Pine Time match. 67 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: I know it's going to be Monday night, but I 68 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: was seeing Sunday night, you know, I thought that would 69 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: be a Sunday night type game. Kind of kind of 70 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: messed up my plans. I wanted to go for the weekend. 71 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: But you know, we'll see if we can work it out. Yeah, 72 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: but I think that that's going to be a good matchup. 73 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: But uh, I had a question for you. I wanted 74 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: to get your input as far as the Dak. You know, 75 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: the whole DAK thing are thinking a little want and 76 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: if so, I thought that they were going to beef 77 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: up Trey Lance's workload. What do you think that has 78 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: to do it? They're gonna put a fire under Dak 79 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: or what are your thoughts on that? I bet you 80 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: answered that all right. 81 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,119 Speaker 4: Well, thanks for the call. I don't really know if 82 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 4: they're going to let him walk or not. I mean, 83 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 4: I think this is what happens. The season is gonna 84 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 4: affect everything. I'm not sure what you've heard about Trey 85 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 4: Lance getting more work more work in the preseason. Yeah. 86 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 4: Remember DAK hasn't played a preseason snapped since twenty nineteen, 87 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 4: so they didn't have any games in twenty twenty, and 88 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 4: then he got hurt that season was coming off the injury, 89 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 4: so he didn't play it in twenty twenty one and 90 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 4: then he hasn't played once since, so he's not playing 91 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 4: any preseason games. You can try to get Cooper Rush ready. 92 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 4: I mean, he kind of know what he is, so 93 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 4: he can get some reps, but you don't know what 94 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,559 Speaker 4: you have in Trey Lance, so it doesn't make sense 95 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 4: to really play anybody else. That's I think what's happening 96 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 4: with the more workload. So that's that's where you know, 97 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 4: and you'll see him get get some some a lot 98 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 4: of reps there. So that's that's I think in none 99 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 4: only for the Cowboys, but for the rest of the league. 100 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 4: They kind of see what he is because you know, 101 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 4: if something happens and another team and some quarterback gets 102 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 4: hurt like we saw last year with the Vikings and 103 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins and they ended up making a trade, and 104 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 4: you know with the Cardinals for Dobbs, something like that 105 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 4: could happen for a team if if they see they 106 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 4: like what they see in Trey Lance in the preseason, 107 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 4: or maybe the Cowboys want to keep I mean, there's 108 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 4: just a lot of options, but right now, not that 109 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 4: many people know what he's able to do, and that's 110 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 4: because he hasn't played a lot. So this is this 111 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 4: is kind of a this will be an an audition 112 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 4: for him for all the teams really, and that's what 113 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 4: I think is going to happen there. Now, going back 114 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 4: to the first part of the question about the schedule 115 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 4: the Texans, I haven't seen their schedule. I don't know 116 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 4: if they if they have Sunday night games, you know, 117 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 4: I don't. I don't know if they're there yet. I mean, 118 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 4: that's if that's this respectful. Oh well, but you know 119 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 4: they you know, Monday night game. That seems good for them, 120 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 4: you know, And then that's gonna be a good matchup. 121 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 4: I mean, that's they're they're you know, a good young team. 122 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 2: Uh. 123 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 4: It looks like they they've got some some good players. 124 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 4: Then they they've added some so they've built on it 125 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 4: seems like they have built off of the success that 126 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 4: they had last year. And their quarterbacks only probably gonna 127 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 4: get better into his second year. And so they you know, 128 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 4: that's gonna be a tough matchup, you know, and they 129 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 4: always you know, want to come up to Dallas and 130 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 4: and show that you know, they're they're you know a 131 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 4: good worthy opponent of being a rival. I don't think 132 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,239 Speaker 4: the Cowboys consider them rivals, but they could definitely consider 133 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 4: the Cowboys rivals. And that's what happens all the time 134 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 4: when you haven't won anything. But all right, so that 135 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 4: that should be a fun matchup. That it will be 136 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 4: plenty of them on the schedule, and we'll talk about 137 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 4: it as we continue to move on. If phone lines 138 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 4: are open eight A A eight five five to two 139 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 4: nine seven. We have some texts questions, though, let's let's 140 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 4: get that rolling. This is from Pete in Oregon. I'd 141 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 4: like to know the guy's opinion. This is probably from 142 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 4: the last show, but that's a right, I'll take it. 143 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 4: The guy's opinion on Sam Williams playing some linebacker. I 144 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 4: think I think he's a unless they're gonna move to 145 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 4: A three four, which I have not heard that, But 146 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 4: I think he's a defensive end. That's that's what he 147 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 4: needs to be playing. I think he needs to be 148 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 4: rushing the quarterback from the defensive end position. That there 149 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 4: will be some variables if that's what Zimmer has done 150 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 4: in the past, and that's what he does this year, 151 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 4: where you can you know, you can have some three 152 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 4: men fronts, some four men fronts. Parsons and Sam Williams 153 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 4: can both play that three four outside linebacker in a 154 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 4: three four, but I don't know if they have the 155 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 4: personnel on the line and really at linebacker to do 156 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 4: it that way. So I think you're going to see 157 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 4: him play more defensive end. But you know, he's got 158 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 4: a unique skill set. Anytime you can have a defensive 159 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 4: end that's also playing as the gunner on special teams, 160 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 4: that just shows what kind of athletic ability he has. 161 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 4: He could play, you know, different spots. But I think 162 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 4: from from where he is in his career, from a 163 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 4: development standpoint, and just just you know, playing this scheme, 164 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 4: I think he needs to be rushing the passer at 165 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 4: defensive end. All right, let's go with Dan and Philly. 166 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 4: What are your thoughts on the Cowboys schedule. There's a 167 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 4: rough patch between before the bye week. I'm also not 168 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 4: a fan of having to play the Eagles in December 169 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 4: in Philly. Thank you, Chris, bring some water. I should 170 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 4: give him a tip, I don't he goes. I don't 171 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 4: know if I'm playing the Philly in in December up 172 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 4: there in his favorite Cowboys or past cowboy that he's 173 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 4: mentioning today is to Shard Choice. We've done a lot 174 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 4: of stuff with the Shard Choice here lately, done some 175 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 4: interviews with him, and he was down at Texas. We've 176 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 4: got working on a documentary project that that he has 177 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 4: been a part of. So yeah, it's a charge, a great, 178 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 4: great fun guy. I loved having him on the team. 179 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 4: All right, let's go to another Let's go to his 180 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 4: question the thoughts on the schedule and also about playing 181 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 4: Philly late in the year. Yeah, I mean it's it's 182 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 4: kind of gone back and forth. I mean that we've 183 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 4: played Philly at home at the end of the season 184 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 4: a couple of times, played them there, So you know 185 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 4: it's going to happen when you're playing your your division 186 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 4: games towards the end of the season. That's that's probably 187 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 4: your only game that has a chance to be really 188 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 4: really cold. I mean maybe Carolina December fifteenth, that's probably 189 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 4: going to be cold somewhat at noon, but shouldn't be 190 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 4: that bad. But I mean Philly, Yeah, Philly December twenty ninth, 191 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 4: I mean that there should be a lot riding on 192 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 4: that game. You know, he talked about rough patches before 193 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 4: the bye. Yeah, I mean Philly, Philly is in in 194 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 4: November the tenth. But before the bye you've got Pittsburgh 195 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 4: and Detroit and then the bye, then you get the 196 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 4: forty nine ers FO Philly Houston. I mean, yeah, I 197 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 4: mean it's gonna happen. That's where the tough. The tough 198 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 4: game seemed to be right now. And that's because that's 199 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 4: what we think when we think the forty nine ers 200 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 4: are gonna be good like they have been lately, and 201 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 4: we think the Lions stealers all those those games. But yeah, 202 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 4: I mean I kind of like happened the bye week 203 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 4: right before. But still I think it lays out pretty 204 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 4: pretty nice for the Cowboys. Though it's not too bad. 205 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 4: All right, let's go with this is another text question 206 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 4: Chris from New York. Actually seeing the layer of the schedule, 207 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,719 Speaker 4: I'm not as concerned as I was. It's not going 208 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 4: to be easy. I think they could win the ten 209 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 4: to twelve games unless there's a major injury to a 210 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 4: key player. Another note, last week I heard another sports 211 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 4: radio show there are reports the Cowboys and Jerry Jones 212 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 4: want to hit the reset button and get Shader Sanders 213 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 4: if the season goes badly. I don't play. I don't 214 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 4: pay much attention to the Cowboys news talk unless it 215 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 4: comes from you guys at Dallas Cowboys dot com. Do 216 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 4: you think there's a shred of truth to this or 217 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 4: just filler? Well, let's go to that part. I mean, 218 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 4: they don't have a quarterback that's seemingly under contract next year, 219 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 4: so something's going to have to happen here, and it's easy. 220 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 4: When that happens, then you can because of that, you 221 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 4: can start looking at all of the options. So you 222 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 4: look at the free agents that are out there, you 223 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 4: look at the projected picks that are out there. So 224 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 4: I haven't heard anyone say that that, oh, that's what 225 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 4: the Cowboys are trying to do. I mean if they did, 226 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 4: they certainly wouldn't say it publicly or even even if 227 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 4: it got leaked out. I mean, there's just so much, 228 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 4: so much time, and so many things that have to 229 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 4: happen between now and then. So no, I don't know 230 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 4: if that's the case, but I do say I do 231 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 4: think that that you know, this team's going to have 232 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 4: to make some hard decisions at quarterback, so whatever that means, 233 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 4: it's going to have to happen. You know here in 234 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 4: the next three to four months, we'll see how the 235 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 4: season goes. For sure, not three to four months, but 236 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 4: early six to six to nine months that they have 237 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 4: to make a decision there, all right. Maurice McCrae from 238 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 4: Washington State, He says, McCarthy talks talked about the presence 239 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 4: that Ezekiel brings to the locker room with the statement 240 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 4: that he can come in and spank a sixty year 241 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 4: old man on the ass and still be welcome to 242 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 4: the locker room. What do you think for the locker 243 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 4: room in twenty twenty four. That was kind of an 244 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 4: awkward part of the of the press conference the other 245 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 4: day when he did that. So when he said that, yeah, 246 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 4: he's just he just means he's got he's got a 247 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 4: way about him that you know where he can he 248 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 4: can hang with the young guys, he can talk to 249 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 4: the old coaches, and he kind of gets along with everyone, 250 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 4: and he really always has. So you know that he's 251 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 4: a guy that that's a you know, fan friendly, locker 252 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 4: room friendly. But you know, to make this work, he's 253 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 4: gonna have to be a guy that could run the 254 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 4: football and and and play well like he has been 255 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 4: in the past, and if he can still do that 256 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 4: and do all these other things, I don't think it's 257 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 4: going to be a good, good thing for him. All right, 258 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 4: let's get to the phone calls here. Jeff in Oregon, Jeff, 259 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 4: what's up? 260 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 3: Oh my lot? 261 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 5: Nick? 262 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 2: How are you good? 263 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 4: How are you doing?

I'll let you go, and all right, if 268 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 3: you want to expand upon them, that's fine. I kind 269 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 3: of like the way things are going. I was up 270 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 3: and down with everybody else, but I people are going 271 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 3: to have to play this year and how either we're 272 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 3: going to have two new young linemen uh or not. 273 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 3: We're going to see neland I'm sure to play probably 274 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 3: that big tackle. And I just I think it's we're 275 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 3: gonna have fourth receiver that we haven't seen a lot of. 276 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 3: They haven't done a lot of playing time. I just 277 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 3: I like the idea that they're going to play and 278 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 3: we're going to find out why some of these guys 279 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 3: indive we don't see that a lot. Another comment I 280 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 3: wanted to make is that you've got a guy like 281 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 3: Jerry Jones who's a billionaire and he's had to be 282 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 3: that way because of negotiating and sign contracts and all 283 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 3: of these done. I'm sure Jerry knows you've got to 284 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 3: be able to walk away from the contract, and in 285 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 3: this case in football, walking away I means you basically 286 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 3: have to trade somebody because you can't make a deal 287 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 3: with them. Why I lose them? And I'm just curious 288 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 3: with you why we can't see me get contracts made 289 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 3: done like we see other teams do, or why we 290 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 3: don't just walk away from players and say, okay, we 291 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 3: try to negotiate faithfully and get faith and can had 292 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 3: it done. And that's just the way it worked out. 293 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 3: And I'll let you go. It's great, yeah, for the 294 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 3: first time, and I'll see what you got to say. 295 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 4: Thanks, Jeff. I would like a little back and forth there, 296 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 4: because because you said they don't either they can't get 297 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 4: them done, why don't they get them done or why 298 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 4: they just let them walk away? I mean it seems 299 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 4: like it would be one or the other. I mean, 300 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 4: those are the two options that you have. Maybe I 301 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 4: misunderstood that. 302 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 3: But oh no, I would say, I would say, negotiate 303 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 3: faithfully for so long and then you get to a 304 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 3: point where you say, okay, we can afford this, or 305 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 3: whatever your reason is, we can't go any further. You can't. 306 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 3: If you're just going to go until you and me 307 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 3: you know what they want, then why not do that 308 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 3: right way? But if you spent all this time, I mean, 309 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 3: you're at the point with these players, who. 310 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 4: Are we talking about we just talking about da. 311 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 3: Any one of them that thought that was a big 312 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 3: three that are up that Well, Parsons. 313 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 4: Has two years left on his deal, and and Mike 314 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 4: I mean, and CD still has one, and so I mean, 315 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 4: you know, they say it all the time, they always 316 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 4: say deadlines make deals. So that just lets you know 317 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 4: that they're not really They're not going to let it 318 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 4: kind of force their hand. They're going to kind of 319 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 4: let this thing play out, let the other teams and 320 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 4: players in the league and their deals come through. And 321 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 4: that's that's the kind of their strategy. But they're getting 322 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 4: they're they're up against it now with Dak I mean 323 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 4: that that's that's what I'm saying. 324 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 3: But what if that doesn't fine? 325 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 4: The does c D sign yeah, no, I'm here.

What do 327 00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 4: you say, I mean, because you think they're going to 328 00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 4: have like a crappy quarterback in here for three or four. 329 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 3: Years, Well, we may be very well out of. 330 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 4: He's gonna he's gonna sign. He's gonna get the most money, 331 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 4: and he's gonna sign, like if the Cowboys offer him 332 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 4: what he's wanting from. You know, I don't think they 333 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 4: care who the quarterback is at this point in their career, 334 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 4: trying to get their second deal they want to be. 335 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 4: He thinks he's the highest he should be the highest 336 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 4: paid receiver in the league, and that's what he wants. 337 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 4: So if you you don't think so, okay, well. 338 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 3: I don't think other receivers it. 339 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,239 Speaker 4: Doesn't matter what. Yeah, yeah, what I'm saying, that's what 340 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 4: he thinks. That he thinks that. 341 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 3: And I don't don't how many players think they're the 342 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 3: best in the league. 343 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, Well, I mean he's up there. I mean 344 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 4: he's up there. He's proved and he's proven that he 345 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 4: would be up there. But what I'm saying is, I 346 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 4: don't think who the quarterback is really matters. If the Cowboys. 347 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 4: Give CD and his agent what they're looking for. I 348 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 4: think they're gonna do it. Yeah. Sure, he would like 349 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 4: to have Dak, he'd like to have the quarterback. Uh 350 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 4: but but I you know, I don't think necessarily that 351 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 4: that that means, you know, he's not going to sign 352 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 4: if he doesn't have, you know, a quarterback, because this 353 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 4: team is not going to go forever with with not 354 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 4: having a good option there. So if Dak's not the 355 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 4: quarterback next year, they'll get a young guy, but they'll 356 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 4: get somebody that they think will be pretty good, you know, soon, 357 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 4: so that that'll be the plan. All right. 358 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 3: Well, I I just hope that Jerry as all Vazard 359 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 3: doesn't let it gets appointing where it's in it's last year, 360 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 3: hen his last year, Mike is in his last year 361 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 3: because like you said, I mean deadlines, delivery deadlines, like 362 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 3: your time tracks up. They can decide I'll get I'll 363 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 3: probably get more money elsewhere. 364 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, it's a risky deal for both sides. 365 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 6: You know. 366 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 4: It's it's risky. It's it's risky if the player holds out. 367 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 4: Thanks for the call, Jeff. It's risky if the player 368 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 4: holds out, because you know, he could get injured and 369 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 4: in the price, or he could play bad and the price, 370 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 4: or you know, not play as well as is what 371 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 4: they're expecting, and the price that could go down. Or 372 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 4: you could just not sign the guy and and then 373 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 4: you know, just like CD, you just don't sign him 374 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 4: last year. You let him play out this year and 375 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 4: he sets all kinds of records and now he wants 376 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 4: the highest paid money in the league. So it's it's 377 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 4: a game. It's a cat and mouse game, and you know, 378 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 4: you can see it kind of play out both ways. 379 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 4: All right, let's go to another text question. Julio from Frisco. 380 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 4: His wrestler, his Stone Cold, his favorite football movie, The Program, 381 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 4: Necessary Roughness, and Man movie would be any John Wick film? 382 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 4: Got a new one? Want your thoughts? Friday Night Lights, show, 383 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 4: movie or book? I'd like to show the best. All 384 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 4: three were great. His Cowboy prediction this year is ten 385 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 4: and seven. Uh, that's a good question. Friday Night Lights, 386 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 4: the show, the movie or the book. I'm gonna go 387 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 4: with the show. I was late. I was late to 388 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 4: the already on that one, and it had already finished 389 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 4: the five seasons or so when I started. I was like, 390 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 4: let me finally watch this what's all this about? I 391 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 4: like the movie, but the show is outstanding. Yeah, I would, 392 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 4: I would, I would. Right, I'd like to see a 393 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 4: movie on the show for the cast of the show. 394 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 4: That's what I want to see happening. I think that 395 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 4: would be really cool, really really good movie. Friday Night Lights. 396 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 4: And it's funny. We had our first caller. It was 397 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 4: from Odessa, where all that really took place. All right, 398 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 4: let's go to the another first time caller we got online, 399 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 4: Jeremy in Utah. 400 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 5: What's up, Nick? 401 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 2: How we doing? 402 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 4: How are you man?

So Nick, me and you 407 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 5: have actually met before, all right, years ago, about ten 408 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 5: years ago. It got a little bit of backstory. I 409 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 5: was listening that and I remember when the schedule came out. 410 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 5: You said, look week I think it was like week 411 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 5: seven at Seattle. We're gonna win that game. And Seattle 412 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 5: just won the Super Bowl and we'd just had another 413 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 5: eight and eight season, and then that was a start 414 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 5: of the twenty fourteen season. I went to Seattle, got 415 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 5: tickets to that game, and by hell, we beat them, 416 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 5: and it was like amazing game. And at the end 417 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 5: of the game, I was screaming at you from the 418 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 5: end zone, telling you that you called it, and I 419 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 5: remember you coming up and shaking my hand telling me 420 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 5: like to enjoy it and everything. We had a little chat, 421 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 5: but it was a really cool moment. And man, that 422 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 5: was just an amazing game and it was one of 423 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 5: the best, the best game I've ever been to live 424 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 5: in my life. 425 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 4: Yeah right, I got a story about that game too. 426 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 4: I can tell it when when the calls over. But yeah, yeah, 427 00:21:58,680 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 4: that was a great one. 428 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 429 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 5: I remember in the first quarter they blocked a punt 430 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 5: and it was like a bomb went off. I've never 431 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 5: experienced anything that loud in my life. 432 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 4: Yeah. 433 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know, getting to new things. You know. 434 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 5: I've been listening to this show and I love this show, 435 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 5: and I'm great that everybody gets a chance to have 436 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 5: their opinion voice their opinion. But I've always told people, 437 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 5: you know, I hate Eagles fans the worst. They are trashed, 438 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 5: their garbage. But sometimes my second is other Cowboys fans 439 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 5: that are always negative, that are always like pushing these 440 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 5: false narratives that they learned from these idiots on ESPN. 441 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 5: I stopped watching ESPN. Like when the t O tried 442 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,239 Speaker 5: to kill himself, narrative came out and they kept pushing that, 443 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 5: and I just at that point I figured out ESPN 444 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 5: is the news. It's like the Fox News is sports. 445 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 5: It's just took a bunch of opinions and bad ones 446 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 5: at that. And you know, there's this narrative that Zeke 447 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 5: is all run down and King Henry would have been 448 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 5: the greatest thing. Like they came out in the same draft, right, 449 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 5: And people don't ever like realize, like if you look 450 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 5: at Zeke's career, he had that one rough year where 451 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 5: he in two thousand dur in twenty where he had 452 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 5: the fumbling issue. He also had COVID that year too, right, 453 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 5: and people forget, these aren't baseball cards, man, these are people. 454 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 2: Right. 455 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 5: I had COVID and knocked me. He knocked me in 456 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 5: the dirt for a good few months. Right. And you 457 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,719 Speaker 5: know the other thing was Kellen Moore in his play calling. 458 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 5: I feel like ruined Zeke's career in Dallas. There were 459 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 5: many games. I'll go back to the Green Bay game, 460 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 5: a couple of years ago where I'm sitting in a 461 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 5: bar with some cowboys and other people that hate the Cowboys, 462 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 5: all of us screaming at the TV. Run the ball, 463 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 5: you know, and Keellen Moore it just wouldn't he just 464 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 5: kept throwing the ball. Same thing with the Jacksonville one 465 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 5: a few years ago. 466 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 4: Yeah. 467 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 5: So I think Zeke is gonna have an amazing year, 468 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 5: and I think he's gonna surprise a lot of people. 469 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 5: And all these people bitching and moaning about not doing 470 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 5: anything in free agency, When has that ever worked out 471 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 5: for a team? When is going and getting a bunch 472 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 5: of free agents and overpaying ever worked out? I want 473 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 5: him all to tell me when that's ever worked out. 474 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 5: You remember the Eagles when they went and got Nandi 475 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 5: and Vince Young and this whole all star team and 476 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 5: then they sucked? Do you remember that? 477 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 4: Yeah? I do. I also remember getting a couple in 478 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 4: the twenty seventeen season and then they won the Super Bowl. 479 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think. I don't think you used 480 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,959 Speaker 4: free agency to, like, you know, piece your team together 481 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 4: and you have superstars, but I think you can find 482 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 4: some core pieces there that that could help. And there 483 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 4: has been some cases where that sort of happened. But 484 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 4: but I don't know if it's it's like you're saying, 485 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 4: you know, these guys will carry us to a super 486 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 4: Bowl based off free agency, because if they're that type 487 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 4: of player, they probably wouldn't, you know, be available, so exactly. 488 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, And I remember in the early two thousands 489 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 5: overpaying for a few guys and it never did us 490 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 5: any well, you know what I mean. So I'm kind 491 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 5: of I'm kind of glad. I kind of like what 492 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 5: the front office is doing this last ten years or so, drafting, well, 493 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 5: getting kind of role players from free agency, and the 494 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 5: biggest free agency and the best that we are in 495 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 5: the league is picking out free agents, rookie free agents. Right, 496 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 5: how many have made the team in the last fifteen 497 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 5: years of the Cowboys and been great players or serviceable 498 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 5: good players? Right? 499 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, Jeremy, Jeremy, I'm gonna I'm gonna leave you 500 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,479 Speaker 4: with this. This is what the Cowboys, this is what 501 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 4: their philosophy is about free agency, Okay, and the players 502 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 4: that are available, all right, average players, Average players will 503 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 4: get good contracts in free agency, and good players will 504 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 4: get great contracts in free agency, and great players never 505 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 4: make it to free agency. That's the way that they 506 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 4: think and and so that's how they view this this 507 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 4: kind of stuff. So if you see a good player, 508 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 4: I mean, I think Dord's Armstrong was a good player 509 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 4: and he got a great contract. But he was a 510 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 4: great player for the Cowboys. He wouldn't have been in 511 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 4: free agency. So that's all right, all right, good, good 512 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 4: call man, Thanks and it was good. I kind of remember, honestly, 513 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 4: I kind of remember meeting you there in Seattle. Remember 514 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 4: that walking off the field, because in that corner there 515 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 4: in the end zone, there's one guy that he's like 516 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 4: the Heckler guy, you know, and so it's so great 517 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 4: to walk me. No, no, no, no, I'm talking about Seattle fan. 518 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 4: This is a Seattle fan that I. 519 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 5: Was yelling and another Seattle fan. We're back, yeah, I 520 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 5: kept telling him, we're back. 521 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 4: Well this where we I don't know. 522 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 5: Well yeah, than that name should have won the Super Bowl? 523 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 2: Bro. 524 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, well I think dad still caught it all right, Jeremy, 525 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 4: Thanks for the call. Good stuff always, all right. Got 526 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 4: some a lot of text questions here. I'm gonna get 527 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 4: one of these. How about a caller. This is from Tyler, Texas. 528 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 4: No name, but he says, do you think Pollard's replacement 529 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 4: is on the team? I would add an s to that. 530 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 4: I think Pollard's replacements are on the team, one of them, 531 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 4: at least. I still I've said it. I still think 532 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 4: something different is gonna happen. I think they're gonna look, 533 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 4: they're gonna find something, They're gonna maybe make a trade. 534 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 4: I don't think all of his replacements are on the team. 535 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 4: I think there's gonna be some guys though. Zeke is 536 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 4: one of them. I think Rico's also in there. We'll 537 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 4: see how it all shakes out. But I still think 538 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 4: that there's something else gonna happen for this team. I 539 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 4: really believe that.

They'll 567 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 4: be bringing a lot of fans from the other side 568 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 4: to It'll be early in the year, so they still 569 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 4: think they're gonna have a good team, so it'll it'll 570 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 4: be a very lively game for the NFL. You should 571 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 4: be there and bring Lewis as well. Bring him because 572 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 4: he wants to go to the game. That's my pitch 573 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 4: straight amen. 574 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 7: All right, all right, I always call it. And then 575 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 7: you know what's crazy. I think I might have to 576 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 7: call you a gig because they played on Sunday, the 577 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 7: October to thirteenth, Detroit, that's our anniversary. So I might 578 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 7: need to call you a game to give another pep talk. 579 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,479 Speaker 4: I don't know if I can help you on that 580 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 4: one on the anniversary, you know what I mean, unless 581 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 4: she's got like a tattoo with the star, like she's 582 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 4: a die hard Cowboy fan, you know, and that's something 583 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 4: she would want to do. But you know, you're gonna 584 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 4: have a hard time maybe watching the game. I would 585 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 4: just know for that one, you know, maybe not going 586 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 4: down there. But I don't know, I mean, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, 587 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 4: make a weekend of it, Make the weekend of it, 588 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 4: go go down and there's a lot of stuff to 589 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 4: do and in Arlington down there, make a weekend of it, 590 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 4: and then you know, I'm sure, I'm you know, none 591 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 4: like the Saints. I think that Detroit may not have 592 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 4: a ton of fans. I mean they you know, they've 593 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 4: they've developed some here over the last few few months probably, 594 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 4: But yeah, I think it'll be it'd be a good 595 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 4: w That's gonna be a good game though. I mean, 596 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 4: that was a good game before. You know, if Detroit 597 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 4: knew the rules, they might have won that game. But 598 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 4: you know. 599 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 7: The rules. I mean, yeah, he paid off a little 600 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 7: more than he could chew at that moment. I mean, 601 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 7: I'm not not not taking a shot, but yeah, I'm 602 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 7: that was that was a crazy game. 603 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 4: Well, and he did it in the NFC Championship too. 604 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 4: I think after watching the Cowboys game and then watching 605 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 4: that when I think it realized he didn't. He just 606 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 4: doesn't like his kicker and he was just like, we're 607 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 4: not gonna kick field goals. We're gonna go win this game. 608 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 4: And they didn't either time. But it's not gonna be 609 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 4: an easy one. I mean because Detroit either they're young, 610 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 4: they're talented, they had a lot of money they added 611 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 4: to it. You know, they're they're like Houston and that 612 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 4: they're you know, they've never won anything, but yet they think, 613 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 4: you know, this is gonna they're building something and and 614 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 4: and then they're gonna come into Dallas. Both these games 615 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 4: and those are gonna be tough. Tho's gonna be tough 616 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 4: home games. They Cowboys have some tough home games, uh. 617 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 5: But they have to. 618 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 8: That's why I call. 619 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 7: That's why I called because I wanted to know what 620 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 7: what what because I was looking at it and I 621 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 7: was the first eight games look like it's going to 622 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 7: be the meat and potatoes, like as far as they play, 623 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 7: and the way the schedule lined out, like where you 624 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 7: say the hardest, the hardest the schedule in your opinion, 625 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 7: would be just. 626 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 4: What it looks like. And I have to qualified all 627 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 4: the time. I mean, you just just go back to 628 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 4: last year. If you were to say, hey boy, that 629 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 4: Week two game, don't worry about that at the Jets 630 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 4: because they're you know, Aaron Rodgers is probably gonna tear 631 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 4: as achilles, he won't even play. But worried about that 632 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 4: Cardinal game because I don't think the Cowboys are gonna 633 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 4: have any offensive linemen that have ever played in that game, 634 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 4: and they're gonna forget how to tackle. So you just 635 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 4: never know how to how these games are going to go. 636 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 4: But looking at it, yeah, it does look like that, 637 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 4: like you said, the meat and potatoes there in the 638 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 4: first eight games. But all right, let's say let's say 639 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 4: you're three and five. That's not good, and that's not 640 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 4: good for McCarthy. But let's say you're three and five. Okay, yeah, 641 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 4: but then but then I don't you get to Houston 642 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 4: at home? Okay, look at the next games. That's the 643 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 4: one I focus on. I guess I'm I'm a glass 644 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 4: half full guy because I see what you see. But 645 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 4: then I look at this stretch of six games mid 646 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 4: November to mid late December, Houston at home, at Washington, 647 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 4: Giants at home, Bengals at home, at the Panthers, Bucks 648 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,959 Speaker 4: at home. Let's go. 649 00:32:58,640 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 2: I mean, make it work. 650 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 7: You can make it happen. 651 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 4: That's that's where Yeah, I'm just saying I'm. 652 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 7: Able to pick up something. 653 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 4: That's what I'm talking about. Three and five would be 654 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 4: not ideal, of course, I mean, you wouldn't want that, 655 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,959 Speaker 4: and this team isn't as good as we think they 656 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 4: are if they're going to go three and five. But 657 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 4: I'm saying, at that point in the year, you should 658 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 4: be able to make a stretch here. And I think 659 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 4: you know, and I know Cincinnati. I mean, Cincinnati is tough, 660 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 4: and Houston will be tough, and the Giants don't Thanksgiving 661 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 4: could be tough. But I'm just saying you, if you're 662 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 4: gonna be the team that you think you're gonna be, 663 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 4: this is it. This is time to do it. 664 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 7: Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's that's the time to try 665 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 7: to get it together. And like you said, we don't 666 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 7: know how Mike McCarty feels about it, but I mean, 667 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 7: if he's looking at the schedule, he wants to make 668 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 7: as much hate as he wants as he can in 669 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 7: the first half of the schedule.

You know. 682 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 4: I need to just focus on my own home, you know, 683 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 4: my own situation. I can't be I'm giving advice and 684 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 4: I mean, you need to need to make sure I'm 685 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 4: doing it right all right, Joe and Montrose, Uh, Pennsylvania. 686 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 9: Hey, Max, good to be honest with you, How are 687 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 9: you doing good? I would I would love for the 688 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 9: Cowboys to be more innovative than they've been in many, 689 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 9: many years, more forward thinking, and to me, I'm thinking 690 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 9: about team building and specifically about with the eighteen game 691 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 9: schedule coming up sooner rather than later, I think that's 692 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,280 Speaker 9: going to mean that you're gonna have to play twenty 693 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 9: one to twenty two games to play in the Super Bowl. 694 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 9: And I don't see how teams can have three or 695 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 9: four players that take up more than fifty percent of 696 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 9: their cap and you know, have a lack of depth 697 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 9: at other positions. And I would love to see them, 698 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 9: you know, they're in the perfect period with these expiring contracts, 699 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 9: to change their philosophy and say, you know, the strength 700 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 9: of our team is Will McLay and his drafting. I 701 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 9: think he's one of the best in the league's and 702 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 9: I think if they could, you know, give him more 703 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:39,280 Speaker 9: capital and let him, you know, draft the best players 704 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 9: available and tell the coaches, hey, we're not fitting them 705 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 9: into your scheme. You're going to fit your scheme around 706 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 9: the players that will draft and just build depth and 707 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:56,919 Speaker 9: youth and healthy players. I would love for them to see, 708 00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 9: you know, see him try something like that and not 709 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 9: saying it's garanteed to work, but you know, just change 710 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 9: it up a little bit. And they used to be, 711 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 9: you know, very innovative back in the day, and I 712 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 9: just haven't seen lot of that from them lately, and 713 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 9: you know, just something changing. 714 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 8: Up a little bit. 715 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I'm all about doing something different. I mean, 716 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 4: you can't just keep doing the same thing for twenty 717 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 4: eight years now and you know, haven't been to the 718 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 4: Super Bowl and just say well this is this is 719 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 4: the way to do it. I Mean there's some tweaking involved, 720 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 4: and I think you're right. I think they should. You know, 721 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,399 Speaker 4: it's just it's it's hard to let you know, they've 722 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 4: developed good players. I mean, this is a team that 723 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 4: has a lot of Pro Bowlers and it's hard to 724 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 4: let those guys go, you know that they've done it 725 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 4: some I mean some of these guys that they they've 726 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,320 Speaker 4: let go. Tony Pollard has won, Tyler be Ottis is another. 727 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 4: I mean guys that have you know, but they had 728 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,719 Speaker 4: they weren't coming off Pro Bowl seasons. I don't know 729 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 4: if they would have let them go if they were 730 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 4: coming off a Pro Bowl year. So it's it's tough 731 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 4: when you when you go through the draft, build it, 732 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 4: you develop them, and then they become really good players 733 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 4: and you want to keep them. You want to figure 734 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,879 Speaker 4: out the best place, you know, the ways to keep them, 735 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 4: and that's what they've they've tried to do, and you know, 736 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 4: it's and let's be honest. I mean, this team has 737 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 4: been good. This has been a good team most of 738 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 4: the time, a team that can compete and go win it, 739 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,399 Speaker 4: and they just haven't been able to get over the hump. 740 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 4: Do you blow it up because of that? Some people 741 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 4: would say yes, but most people would say no to that. 742 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 4: You know, you keep you keep fighting, you keep tweaking 743 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 4: here and there and making this thing happen. It just 744 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 4: hasn't happened yet. And the standards are so high. I mean, 745 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 4: look at all these teams that are that are excited 746 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,360 Speaker 4: about what they're doing and they still haven't won anything, 747 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 4: you know what I mean. It's just a different world 748 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 4: that the Cowboys are in when they they get judged 749 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 4: by can you win the Super Bowl? Because if you haven't, 750 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,360 Speaker 4: then we're just going to keep tacking on these years. 751 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,760 Speaker 4: And that's what's building all this frustration that the Cowboys 752 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 4: can't win, and they get these little shots from other 753 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 4: teams about all the Cowboys have never win. I mean, 754 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 4: it's funny when you look at these schedule, these videos, 755 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 4: look at the teams that talk the most crap, you know, 756 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 4: and it's the ones that have never peen a drop. 757 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 4: That's what's funny to be But whatever, all right, yeah. 758 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I just I just think that if 759 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,840 Speaker 9: you're going to try something new, this is the perfect 760 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,840 Speaker 9: time to do it with the expiring contracts, you know, 761 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,720 Speaker 9: instead of signing Dak for another three years or whatever 762 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 9: and then being kind of stuck with that. You know, 763 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,719 Speaker 9: if you're going to try something different, this is the 764 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:30,799 Speaker 9: perfect time to do it. 765 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,839 Speaker 4: So all right, all right, Joe, appreciate it. Good, thank 766 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,879 Speaker 4: you for hearing from you. All Right, I think we've got 767 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 4: a few more minutes here on the show, because I 768 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:45,280 Speaker 4: know we've got the Players Lounge coming up a little 769 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 4: bit after this, right after this, so the Players Longe 770 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 4: will be here at eleven o'clock Central time, But we 771 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 4: can still go for another ten minuts with the phone 772 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 4: lines are are open right now, so if you want 773 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,320 Speaker 4: to make a call, we've when we've had five calls. 774 00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 4: I think that's the lowest we've ever had. I'd like 775 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 4: to get to if we can get one more call in, 776 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,800 Speaker 4: that'd be great. We do have some text questions TJ 777 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 4: in Baltimore. How does this running back rotation compare to 778 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 4: two thousand and nine Barbara Choice and Felix Jones. It doesn't, 779 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 4: It doesn't compare. Sorry, that's not that's not anywhere close 780 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 4: to what this team has right now. Barber for a 781 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:26,439 Speaker 4: Pro Bowl or was just unstoppable around the goal line. 782 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 4: He could score, you know, any anywhere in between the 783 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 4: you know, ten yard line, and he was probably gonna score. 784 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 4: Felix Jones could score any part in part of the field. 785 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 4: And then charge Choice is your third back. I mean, 786 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 4: that's pretty good, and I don't think the Cowboys have that. 787 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 4: I think all three of those guys at that year 788 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,320 Speaker 4: would be starting on this team. So this doesn't compare 789 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 4: in my mind. But I mean, that's it's okay. I mean, 790 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,840 Speaker 4: I mean, Zeke, Zeke's not at that that point in 791 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 4: his career. But but still you know, there's some of 792 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,319 Speaker 4: you guys think that he can have a really really 793 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 4: good season, and and I I think he can. I 794 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 4: do think he needs some help. He needs another guy 795 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 4: in there. I'm not sure who that is going to be, 796 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 4: but I definitely think that they can. You know, they 797 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 4: get it blocked up front. I think the running backs 798 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 4: can be good. I just think that they need I 799 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 4: just don't think it's over yet. It's not over yet. 800 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 4: On to see who's going to be running the ball? 801 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 4: All right? Eric and Amarillo, Uh, do you think Deuce 802 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 4: Vaughan has a real chance to play? What do you 803 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 4: think the Cowboys playing is with him? Is he just 804 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 4: a gadget running back? Can he not be a starting 805 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 4: running back because he's too small to pass protector? I 806 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 4: don't think he's going to be a small I don't 807 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think he's going to be a 808 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 4: starting running back. I think, yeah, that that that would 809 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 4: be a challenge for him to take that many hits 810 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,880 Speaker 4: all the time. I think that, you know, he's just 811 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 4: not built that way. That doesn't mean he can't do 812 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:45,839 Speaker 4: it every now in a game, but I don't think 813 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 4: he's built to the point to be the you know, 814 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 4: the every down running back and to take it, you know, 815 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 4: to take the hits that that are needed when you 816 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,840 Speaker 4: have the ball and when you don't. But yeah, I 817 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,839 Speaker 4: mean I think he can be a gadget back if 818 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 4: you will, he can. He can have his carve out 819 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 4: his own niche a little bit. He needs to be 820 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,280 Speaker 4: a good, you know, pass catcher out of the backfield. 821 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 4: I think he'd be a really good two minute offense 822 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,879 Speaker 4: type guy get in there. And you know we saw 823 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 4: that with Lance Dunbar when he played. I mean, he 824 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:13,800 Speaker 4: you know, he could catch the ball out of the backfield. 825 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,800 Speaker 4: So I think he could do that kind of stuff. 826 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,880 Speaker 4: But you know, for for the most part, I don't 827 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,400 Speaker 4: think that that he is going to be your your starter, 828 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 4: but I do think that if he continues to develop, yeah, 829 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 4: he can have a role on the team. All right, 830 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 4: Bob in Rio grand Valley. 831 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 8: Hey, Nick, Hey, how you doing that. 832 00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 6: I'm in a much better frame of mind than the 833 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,840 Speaker 6: last time I called. First of all, I want to 834 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 6: apologize for the disparents the things that I've said on 835 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:46,279 Speaker 6: that conversation that day. Evidently I'm ashamed of myself and 836 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 6: I apologize. 837 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 4: That's all. Thank you for calling and thank you for 838 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 4: saying that, and that we can just leave it at that. Hey, 839 00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 4: you made the All Storyline Team. I don't know if 840 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 4: you heard that. You made the All Storyline Team despite 841 00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 4: any of that stuff. Hey, frustrations of this team can 842 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,839 Speaker 4: get the best of us. We all know that, and 843 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 4: we say things. Lord knows, I've said things I didn't 844 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,000 Speaker 4: want to say before, and that's actually, you know, that's 845 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,240 Speaker 4: every day almost for me. But anyways, Bob, thanks for calling, 846 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,760 Speaker 4: and and if you haven't given us your shirt size 847 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 4: in the address, make sure I have good good there. 848 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 6: Is something positive I would like to say. All right, 849 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:26,479 Speaker 6: kudos to the whole front office for the masterful way 850 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 6: they handled and drafted in the draft. I think that 851 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,880 Speaker 6: we hit a total home run. I think that they 852 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 6: they by trading back, it was a masterful stroke on 853 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 6: Jerry's park. I think that we fill positions of need 854 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 6: with great players. I'm very, very optimistic about this season, 855 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 6: and I've watched the interviews with the coaches that they 856 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 6: brought in and I am totally impressed. I think that 857 00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 6: we're on the on the right path. I think that 858 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 6: a change in defensive coordinators was needed. I love Dan 859 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,279 Speaker 6: Quinn he's a great guy and whatever. But I think 860 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 6: that a lot of the problems that Malady Smith had 861 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,880 Speaker 6: last year when he was being asked to do something 862 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 6: that he's not capable of doing, I think Mike Zimmer 863 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,800 Speaker 6: is going to do it completely different. I expect to 864 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,400 Speaker 6: see that young man have a breakout season, and I 865 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 6: think the Cowboys are going to have another twelve win 866 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 6: season and there's a good possibility that we could wind 867 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,799 Speaker 6: up in the championship game. Thank you for taking my car. 868 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,799 Speaker 4: A great week, all right, well, thank you, all right. 869 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 4: Good to hear from you again. It's been a while 870 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 4: since you've called. Uh, you know, good positive vibes there 871 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 4: coming uh from and he haven't seen and we haven't 872 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:43,960 Speaker 4: heard a lot of that. I'm not not all fans 873 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 4: are feeling the same way about what the Cowboys have 874 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 4: done or what they really didn't do. And then which 875 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 4: a sign to anybody, but but yeah, I mean, I 876 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,239 Speaker 4: think that they've got young talent on this team that 877 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 4: that you know, just needs to needs to to play. Uh. 878 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,760 Speaker 4: That was a caller, our second caller, you know, Jeff 879 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,319 Speaker 4: and Morgan said we're gonna get to find out about 880 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,480 Speaker 4: these guys and and that's you know, and what is 881 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,400 Speaker 4: it the The fifth caller said, you know, Joe from 882 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:16,080 Speaker 4: from Pennsylvania said he thinks Will McLay is the strength 883 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 4: of the of the team. And so if that's the case, 884 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,800 Speaker 4: then let let these guys that they've picked, whether it 885 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,920 Speaker 4: be this year, last year, a couple of years before, 886 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 4: we still got some draft picks that we haven't seen yet, 887 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,440 Speaker 4: so that they're gonna get the chance, they're gonna get 888 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 4: the chance to play. This team needs to have cheap 889 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:36,080 Speaker 4: superstars and uh, you know if Deron Bland is one 890 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 4: of them, I mean he looks like a superstar, you know, 891 00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,080 Speaker 4: especially when he's taking the ball to the house five 892 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,440 Speaker 4: times in a season. So you know, that's but they 893 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 4: need more of those. They need those fourth, fifth round, 894 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 4: sixth round picks to develop into starters and and and 895 00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,400 Speaker 4: and and be you know players like that. Oh so 896 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 4: O'diggy Zoo a third round pick. I mean this is 897 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,719 Speaker 4: his contract year. They need a big year from him 898 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,440 Speaker 4: as well. So yeah, I think that they can be 899 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 4: just like they were. I think the window is kind 900 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,879 Speaker 4: of closing based off the contracts, but I don't think 901 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:07,839 Speaker 4: it's closed at all. I think they have a chance 902 00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 4: to have a good season this year, a really good season. 903 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 4: They just got to have things go their way. You 904 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,799 Speaker 4: got to develop some players, You gotta get lucky at times. 905 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 4: You got to get lucky with injuries and not have 906 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,319 Speaker 4: too many bad injuries. You gotta have develop some good 907 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,439 Speaker 4: depth so when you have those injuries, you can still 908 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,840 Speaker 4: go and win games. And you got to be a 909 00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,760 Speaker 4: little more more disciplined. Maybe, like you said, Bob, maybe 910 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,759 Speaker 4: you know they can they can be that way on 911 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,319 Speaker 4: defense with Mike Zimmer coming in, you know, you might 912 00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,359 Speaker 4: not have as many flash plays there, but you might 913 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,719 Speaker 4: have less penalties. And I think with this team, I 914 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 4: think you would take that, all right. Michael Lexington, uh, 915 00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 4: North Carolina, Michael, Hey, hey man. 916 00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,560 Speaker 2: I'm first Tom Calver, all right, we've got a lot 917 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:51,600 Speaker 2: of first time Yeah. Uh I call a few years 918 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,600 Speaker 2: ago on Mickey's show, but I argue with him too much, 919 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 2: so I didn't held back. 920 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:56,759 Speaker 4: Been there. 921 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 2: I guarantee you he's kind of hard to deal with. 922 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 4: How we all are. What do you got, Michael? 923 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,960 Speaker 2: I got this goes back to the first year Dak 924 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 2: was I I've been won't to ask this question. When 925 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,680 Speaker 2: I got to the playoffs. I wish they would have 926 00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:20,439 Speaker 2: played Romo instead of Dick. I really believe we could 927 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 2: have done something. What do you think on that? 928 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:27,839 Speaker 4: I felt I was I was asked this not too 929 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,040 Speaker 4: long ago, and I said, this is a tough one 930 00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,920 Speaker 4: for me because I love both those guys. 931 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, but so much better passion. 932 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 4: Yeah. No, you're right Romo to me, and I think 933 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,560 Speaker 4: you agree. Romo would have been the better option for 934 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 4: that game, especially as it played out. I think they 935 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,919 Speaker 4: wouldn't have been down twenty one to three or six 936 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:51,799 Speaker 4: or whatever it was. I think Romo would have been 937 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:55,279 Speaker 4: a better option for them in that game. However, there 938 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,840 Speaker 4: was no point in the season when that could have 939 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:03,440 Speaker 4: It didn't make since Dak had he needed to play. 940 00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:07,640 Speaker 4: He played well, he kept winning, he kept winning. Is 941 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,279 Speaker 4: Romo back not yet? Guess what? Dak wins again, He 942 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,000 Speaker 4: wins again, They go win in Pittsburgh. Oh, Romo's ready now? 943 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 4: Oh no, Dak still winning. What are you going to 944 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,399 Speaker 4: change the team now? You got these two young guns, 945 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 4: Dak and Zeke. You can't change it. 946 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,239 Speaker 2: He never let I mean, you know, the running name 947 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:28,200 Speaker 2: carried Knack that year. I mean, Tony was so much better. 948 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,440 Speaker 2: If the running game wasn't work and he could win 949 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:30,759 Speaker 2: it for. 950 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:35,479 Speaker 4: You maybe maybe, But Dak wasn't losing it for him either, 951 00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,480 Speaker 4: and so and you know he wasn't. Now, he did 952 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,759 Speaker 4: not play well in that in that game early, but 953 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,960 Speaker 4: then he came back and that they were in position 954 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,759 Speaker 4: that where they had it tied. I mean, uh, I 955 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:50,680 Speaker 4: just it was Dak's team. I love Tony, but it 956 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 4: was Dak's team at that point in the season. He 957 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,799 Speaker 4: had done everything he'd had to do, and I don't 958 00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,160 Speaker 4: think the Cowboys could have could have switched back. I 959 00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,000 Speaker 4: think you'd lose the team and lose the locker room 960 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:01,960 Speaker 4: if you did that. You got to remember, too, who 961 00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,600 Speaker 4: was in the locker room and who's a locker room guy. 962 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:08,040 Speaker 4: Who did the team gravitate to. Who's the team gravitat 963 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:12,319 Speaker 4: towards now Dak it they don't gravitate to Tony. I'm 964 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 4: sorry again, I said it. I've said it three times. 965 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,320 Speaker 4: I love Tony, but that's not he wasn't that type 966 00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,400 Speaker 4: of leader in the locker room. He's a leader in 967 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:23,120 Speaker 4: his own way, but not like Dak. And I think 968 00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:24,719 Speaker 4: it would have been it would have been tough to 969 00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:25,840 Speaker 4: make that change. 970 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,919 Speaker 2: So it's unfortunately, I really believe if he was in 971 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 2: there way to one. 972 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,839 Speaker 4: I don't disagree, I don't disagree. I just don't think 973 00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 4: it's possible to put him in. 974 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,640 Speaker 2: And you know, and I don't think Tony ever received 975 00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,759 Speaker 2: the respect they deserve. He got creativeized so much. And 976 00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,880 Speaker 2: I noticed Telly who was a quarterback in Dallas, but 977 00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:44,920 Speaker 2: I mean he was a great quarterback. 978 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,280 Speaker 4: Yeah. I think Dak and Tony are very very similar 979 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,120 Speaker 4: in their careers. All right, Mitchell or Michael, sorry about that, 980 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,760 Speaker 4: Thanks for the call. Let's go to Chris and San Angelo. 981 00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,040 Speaker 8: Hey, Nick, how you doing. 982 00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:57,319 Speaker 4: I'm good man, how are you? 983 00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,320 Speaker 8: I'm doing well. I didn't even know you were on today. 984 00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:04,359 Speaker 8: I know I popped it and I saw you and 985 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,640 Speaker 8: I called in the phone range. So that's two surprises 986 00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:08,840 Speaker 8: in the last ten minutes. 987 00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's it's no coincidence that we had a 988 00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:13,360 Speaker 4: lot of first time callers and a lot of callers 989 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,120 Speaker 4: that don't call all the time, just because yeah, we 990 00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:20,080 Speaker 4: switched it up. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know 991 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:21,880 Speaker 4: if I love doing that again. But that's a fine. 992 00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:22,920 Speaker 4: All right, Chris, what do. 993 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,319 Speaker 8: You think I might be maybe a five time caller. 994 00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:29,080 Speaker 8: I'm not sure, no where am Since I had to 995 00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 8: come up with something really quick. You were talking about 996 00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:35,880 Speaker 8: Dak with me and a lot of other people. We 997 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:41,480 Speaker 8: get labeled Dak haters, and but the thing is we're not. 998 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,200 Speaker 8: Do we think that Dak is worth fifty plus million 999 00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:49,480 Speaker 8: a year? No, but I don't either. But I have 1000 00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,759 Speaker 8: his jersey hanging up in my closet, you know, And 1001 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:56,160 Speaker 8: so it's like, I love him, I want him to succeed. 1002 00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:01,319 Speaker 8: But just because I don't think he's worth fifty plus 1003 00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:04,239 Speaker 8: a year, I don't think makes me a hater, you 1004 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:04,839 Speaker 8: know what I mean. 1005 00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,160 Speaker 4: It doesn't. It doesn't at all, and I don't even 1006 00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,239 Speaker 4: try to look at it that way anymore. What I 1007 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,560 Speaker 4: would say is, do you think Dak needs to be 1008 00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,960 Speaker 4: in the top ten highest paid quarterback in the league? 1009 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:16,120 Speaker 8: Right? 1010 00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,359 Speaker 4: If you think he does. If you think he's top 1011 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,399 Speaker 4: ten and he should be paid that way, then don't 1012 00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,319 Speaker 4: worry about what the number is. Because the number got 1013 00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,360 Speaker 4: out of control in nineteen eighty five when they started 1014 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,280 Speaker 4: making a million dollars a year or whatever. It's always 1015 00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,279 Speaker 4: been out of control for you and me. So my 1016 00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,200 Speaker 4: point is is that you think he needs to be 1017 00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:36,279 Speaker 4: paid fairly. And if that's the case because of what 1018 00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,560 Speaker 4: he's going to do, not because of what he's done, 1019 00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,319 Speaker 4: but what he is going to do. If you think 1020 00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,720 Speaker 4: he is still going to be a top ten quarterback 1021 00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,200 Speaker 4: in the next four to five years, then he does 1022 00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,520 Speaker 4: deserve that that money, regardless of what it is. 1023 00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:53,080 Speaker 8: Right, Well, I mean that's true. I don't know. I mean, 1024 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,160 Speaker 8: it's just you know, they keep talking about pieces of 1025 00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,480 Speaker 8: the pie, and that's that's an awful large chunk whenever 1026 00:50:59,480 --> 00:50:59,960 Speaker 8: you have a shot. 1027 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,879 Speaker 4: No, it's it's a tough way around it. I get it. 1028 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,319 Speaker 8: But got to build a team around it. 1029 00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 4: It's tough. It's tough to play, uh you know, with 1030 00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,040 Speaker 4: that kind of money. It's tough to play with a 1031 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,359 Speaker 4: quarterback who sucks. So I mean you got to find 1032 00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,560 Speaker 4: a middle balance there, all right? 1033 00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:17,319 Speaker 2: Right on? 1034 00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,680 Speaker 8: Man, okay, man, I didn't have much. You get a chance. 1035 00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:21,880 Speaker 8: Check out the movie. 1036 00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 2: Uh, I think it's kind of a guy movie. 1037 00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,560 Speaker 8: Maybe not Once upon a time in Hollywood. 1038 00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,560 Speaker 4: Oh, I've heard. Yeah, I've heard about that. I've tried 1039 00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,040 Speaker 4: to watch it on the plane a couple of times. 1040 00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,319 Speaker 4: I didn't last very long doing that, But maybe I'll 1041 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:35,040 Speaker 4: give it another. 1042 00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,520 Speaker 8: Shot you got, Yeah, you have to on a plane. 1043 00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,560 Speaker 8: Might be a bad time.
